Morphology

mobilizer = mobilize (transparent) = mobilize + er

Standard instrument/agent formation from the verb 'mobilize' with the productive suffix '-er'; the device reading is inferable from the verb plus '-er'.

Etymology

Mobilizer comes from the root mobil- and the old Latin word mobilis, which means 'movable' or 'able to move'. Think of mobile or automobile, things that move, so a mobilizer is a device that makes things move.
